On Bill Powers’ last day as president of the University of Texas, he kept things low-key: Some phone calls, some packing, some photos and lunch with staff members (Lucy’s Fried Chicken, a stroll around the Forty Acres.

Earlier in the day, Powers met informally with Shaka Smart, the new men’s basketball coach. Powers gave him a certificate from Gov. Greg Abbott making Smart an honorary Texan, said Gary Susswein, a UT spokesman.

Oh, and Powers did his final interview as president, with Statesman sportswriter Ryan Autullo.
